Pink floyd the early years 1965-1972

It looks just like the Harvested collection! :-D

At the same time I'm impressed with the track list, I have to confess that I was expecting a few more surprises. Every Floyd "archival" release so far included something that we didn't even know existed. For instance, the extra tracks on the 65 demos, the Grappeli WYWH, YGBC and RnD from 74, etc. From a quick scan, this is what I see that we don't already have:

• 65 demos (at least not on CD)
• Stockholm '67 (I was hoping for this)
• John Latham (pardon my ignorance, but what are these supposed to be?)
• IO from "Das Universum Des Ichs"?
• 68 demos (!!!)
• More outtakes (!!!)
• Green is the Color (I only had a VCD of this) and IO from Amougies!!!
• ZP outtakes (someone is ecstatic over this, I'm sure)
• Echoes demo
• Echoes surround
• Pompeii HD
• The Committee movie and soundtrack

Did I miss anything? Besides that, let's hope that at least some of the material turns out to be an upgrade (KQED, I'm looking at you).

You pretty much nailed it. Just these:

*Atom Heart Mother - band-only work-in-progress
*Atom Heart Mother - video from Hyde Park 1970
*Echoes - Wembley 1974-11-16

The Frank Zappa "Interstellar Overdrive" jam footage listed on the 1969 DVD/Blu Ray. We've had the audio but definitely not the footage that I know of.

I did have that ("IO from Amougies")

the 1972 St. Ouen one?

It was broadcasted on a radio show for a private radio station in 1972 that has since changed a lot. Maybe they have no idea where the tape is after all these years?

Looks great, glad Stockholm made the list it seems this is it and it is a tad disappointing that nothing really unknown exists, no last minute finds of UFO Footage/14 hr dream or any odd ball 65-67 show or anything we already didn't know about.

I'm not complaining I'm glad Floyd is finally dumping the early vaults and this is an incredible package and looking at the listings this really seems like all they have. Just sad that while we can get boots of the Beatles farting in stereo from 1963 their was a real lack of understanding the Early floyd should have been documented better.

I just pre ordered on Amazon now we have a realistic asking price!
Still I may cancel if there is no scarf made of toilet paper.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially done with collecting Pink Floyd recordings once I get this set. Seriously, this pretty much does it for me and the things that I could complain about being left out probably don't exist. This is all just such a wonderful surprise! Man, they even included Echoes from Wembley '74. Pretty cool stuff!

Blame EMI for that for either recycling the early multis (which was standard practice in the 60's and most Beatles tapes from before 1964 were "recycled") or being trashed during the big vault clearout EMI had in 1972 where they binned tons of old multis. The band had no control over such acts of vandalism.
